Patrick (Woody) Harrison Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice Attorney Columbus, IN
Medical Malpractice
Medical Malpractice Law, also called medical negligence, is defined as professional negligence through act or omission by a health care provider. These cases pertain to instances where the care provided did not meet the standard of good medical practice in the field in which the medical professional practices. If this sub-standard care resulted in injury or death to the patient, a medical malpractice case may be in order.
The requirements and regulations that constitute the standard of care can vary by jurisdiction. Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider (physician, hospital, HMO, nurse or other individual or entity licensed to provide medical treatment) fails to do something that competent doctors would have done or does something that competent doctors would not have done. That is, Medical Malpractice occurs when, by errors either in omission or commission, the physician causes harm to the patient. Medical Malpractice includes cases involving hospital error, doctor mistakes, medical misdiagnosis, and wrongful death, among others.
Medical Malpractice cases are often very complex and may take years to conclude. They require a high degree of experience and expertise on the part of practicing attorneys. Woody Harrison brings decades of experience to each Medical Negligence case he handles, and is well versed in every aspect of these cases.
